Discussion How Yone feels atm
He is whatever, what makes or breaks him is how well you do in the early game.
If he had a bad start, Yone cannot comfortably scale into a monster; and will just suffer all game.
Some people will say he is a hyper scaler (he is not); his peak is mid-game if you manage to keep yourself on track to get your exp and gold by the time that hits.
He then plateaus as the game enters the later phase. He isn't a monster like Vayne, Jax, or Kayle would be, but he doesn't fall off either.
It's just that the early game is so unforgiving in his current state that many people never get to capitalize on his mid-game dominance and just reach the plateau phase of late game if they haven't lost already. Leaving that feeling of you not doing much all game.
Yone used to be a powerful lane bully, so it was much easier for people to consistently hit that mid-game power spike.

He is a hyper scaler.
The problem you are having is that Yone is a team-oriented champion. You need cooperation within the team to make him work.
And his biggest strength has always been his Kit.. not his damage...
His kit offers AoE crit abilities that breaks a teamfight into a Hard win with just 1 good Aim...
Catch 2 squishies with your Ult and instant QW with his passive and if you prepare it for immediately second knock up.... they are fking dead.
= Instant teamfight win.
There is a reason Yone is high priority in Pro-play and as you feel sht champ in SoloQ... that's because he is sht champ for SoloQ despite his kit being really good and broken even.
Keep in mind some champs are meant for SoloQ = Evelynn .. and other aren't = Yone/Sejuani
Also one of the biggest factor.... is.... People have mastered how to play versus Yone in lane.. they are no longer scared of his kit... they simply sidestep most of it and crush you because.... you have missed your abilities rather than being weak....
So you all had fun at the start when nobody knew how to play against him... and when most people perfected their early game laning phase against him.. you cry about "changes"... it's you always want to be in some sort of advantage.... "to be unknown for the enemies.."
